I’m sure when you think of an anchor you automatically think of a ship and the anchor that holds it in place. For me though an anchor is something or someone that provides strength and support. Whether you love the high seas or see the anchor image as a representation of strength and support this pillow is for you. Use it on your boat, in a beach themed room or even in a nautical nursery.
